ZEPHYR - New resource

Zephyr is one of the newest business and financial information resources to be added to the Library’s suite of resources supporting these disciplines. Zephyr from Bureau van Dijk provides access to Merger and Acquisitions data, IPO, private equity, venture capital deals and rumours. Zephyr is updated hourly and adds more deals per year than similar resources.

Extensive coverage

Zephyr has information on a vast number of deals, including over ten years of history for deals around the world. The original source of information about a deal or rumour is indicated, and for recent deals, links to the source documents are included (press releases, SEC and other filings).

Translated

Multilingual sources are used to research deals and all deal information is translated into English.

Comprehensive information on rumours

Zephyr has information on rumours, as well as announced and completed deals. Rumours can be tracked and alerts sent as more information becomes apparent or the deal status changes.

Integrated Company Financials

Zephyr includes financial summaries and structures on companies involved in deals. It also has links to the detailed financial data on Bureau van Dijk’s company information products (Fame and Amadeus – available via the Library website).

A new ‘beta’ version of Zephyr is now available with a redesigned interface. TCD members can view this new version, in advance of the official launch, at https://zephyr2.bvdep.com/ip
